Career opportunities with the Fund for the Public Interest

 Fund for the Public Interest is a nationwide nonprofit that runs grassroots campaigns that work on behalf of leading social change groups like U.S. PIRG and Environment America. We're hiring graduating seniors to help run our campaign offices next year as Canvass Directors.  It's a lot of responsibility, mainly focused on hiring, training and managing a staff that goes out into communities to build grassroots support for the above organizations and their campaigns. We’re looking for students who might be up for this challenge and would be passionate about working on environmental, consumer protection and social change campaigns.

We’re looking for smart, hard-working students who work well in a team and are eager to make real change after graduation.

The Fund for the Public Interest partners with leading nonprofit groups from around the country, providing the kind of people power it takes to build organizations for the long-term, win hard-fought campaigns, and make real change on some of the most important issues of our day.

Specifically, we're hiring Canvass Directors to run our grassroots campaign offices across the country, working on behalf of groups like Environment America and US PIRG.

Change takes people power, and the Fund’s job is to build that power for other groups working on important issues.

We all want to make a difference. But wanting change, hoping for it or sharing political videos on Facebook isn’t enough. That’s where you come in.

The president or the governor usually gets the headline when change does happen. But the real story takes place behind the scenes, with hundreds, thousands or even millions of people making their voices heard through petitions, emails, small donations, and meetings.

That’s people power, and that's what you deliver with the Fund. You build and lead a team that recruits supporters, raises money and mobilizes thousands of people to take action -- for the environment, for our democracy, and more.

We are looking for motivated students who want to lead the way in working for the change our country needs.
